Low-Power Radio-Frequency SiGe Analog-to-Digital ConverterA low-power, radio-frequency analog-to-digital converter (RF-ADC) for soil moisture remote sensing was designed and fabricated. The RF-ADC is the fundamental component used in a direct-sampling digital radiometer, which is proposed to minimize the power dissipation and system complexity for synthetic thinned array radiometer. The circuit was implemented using 0.8 micron 35-GHz silicon germanium BiCMOS technology. The total power dissipation was 222 mW.
